  • Abstract
    Simultaneous laser oscillation of four nondegenerate polarization and propagation direction eigenstates of a single TEM00mode was observed in a ring laser cavity. The observed polarization and frequency properties of the ring laser were analyzed in terms of the Jones matrix calculus.
